@kryzzan7039 Russia has more people, but to get them to Ukraine you must draft them. and tehy don't want to fight.
Ukrainians have their entire population to draw from,a nd they want to fight, they want to defend their homes, their property, their freedom, their familites.
Russia has already lost teh bulk of their trained military and are not raining more.
Russia has expended teh bulk of their top military hardware already (missiles, tanks, aircraft, etc.), and their factories are not cranking out more.
Much of the famed Soviet Union military industry came out of Ukraine, not Russia.
Ukraine has already proven it has the superior wartime economy and industry. they've already been able to adapt and overcome, and Russia has failed to do the same.

@rogerthat4545 Nixon actually tried to end the war shortly after taking office, as it was a campaign promise.
He had the Pentagon bring him a plan to end it (mind you the Pentagon had a plan to end the war in the first 6months of the war, but since it wasn't a declared war, Johnson wouldn't let them enact it). He was about to enact the Pentagon's plan, that required first a surge of troops to end it , followed by the draw down. But protestors marched on D.C. and he became worried about the public perception of starting a surge and knowing the public would neither understand nor care that the surge was only temporary in the short term to end the war in the long run. The plan was called off.
Once the US politicians finally decided to end it, the military was finally turned loose and and they ended it with about 2 weeks of fighting.
Keep in mind, the US never officially declared war, and so invading North Vietnam was deemed not an option. Johnson started the war to get elected, then it got out of control. The US military won every major battle and could have ended it very early had the original plan been accepted and used. But it was all politics. It was all for political gain, and the military had their hands tied.

@kryzzan7039 the opening attacks in Ukraine were spearheaded by elite russian regulars, like teh Spetznaz, airborne, and elite tank units, etc. They've been decimated. And consider that the average spetznaz soldier only has 2-4yrs experience. In the US an average infantryman probably has more training and years of service and experience than a russian spetznaz, and is better equipped and supported. The Russian military sent their trainers to Ukraine, and so have no experienced soldiers nor trainers to train replacements. Their active duty soldiers lack competant officers, have basically no NCOs, and only about 2-4yrs experience average.
Russia has been hilariously bad at logistics since well before WW2. Logistics wins wars, and russia has none.
The west has logistics down to an artform, and I fought in combat alongside guys with 2-40+yrs of experience, a very elite NCO corps, and competent officers (many of them mustang officers). In Iraq I fought alongside guys who'd fought in Panama, Grenada, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Desert Storm, Bosnia, etc. And that was just the guys in my Company. Russia has nothing to compare to that.
Ukrainians are being trained by the British, US, and others, best of the best. They are getting proper training, proper equipment, before being sent to the front.

@samgyeopsal569 We fought Al Qaeda in Iraq. Al Qaeda was an international organization, formed in Saudi Arabia and trained some in Afghanistan, but for some reason they preferred Iraq. At some point they decided Ramadi, Iraq was their capital city and came there and fought us for it. Don't ask me why, makes no sense to me. Look how many Al Qaeda leaders were killed in Iraq. We were fighting Al Qaeda and others from around the world that hated America in Iraq. It was very easy for them to get into Iraq through the various borders such as Syria and Iran. And when Al Qaeda was finally defeated, a Pentagon analyst wrote a report about what would happen if the US withdrew from Iraq prematurely before things were adequately stabilized. Obama decided this report was a good battle strategy and withdrew, allowing the remnants of Al Qaeda to reform into what is now ISIS, which caused chaos and death in Iraq, but also spilled into Turkey and Syria, in an bid to oust Assad.
Al Qaeda has everything to do with Iraq.
We fought the Taliban in Afghanistan for no reason, but we fought Al Qaeda in Iraq. Ironic isn't it given all the rhetoric about the two wars over the years.
